Mate I know where you are coming from but personally I'm all for taking more refugees. But Australia needs to take them from the United Nations Refugee Program - displaced families from refugee camps, I'd personally roll the red carpet out for them. The ones I'm opposed to are the young men whose families have paid people smugglers to get them here and who once are in bring their families over. The ones that keep turning up every day since they realized Australia had become a soft touch, just like the UK.

Now that you have your answer to why the Brits migrate to Australia, let me ask you a question..... what percentage Australian population is Asian?

Anyway thank you everyone for all of your kind reply/answers. I feel a little bit guilty when I see some unnecessary arguments. Maybe the way I ask this question was wrong. I didn't expected this. Is there any way closing this thread?

Most probably, but you can adjust, just like we did moving from South Africa to the UK - it takes time. It also depends what your expectations are. For us its mainly the following (compared to the UK):-

Much warmer weather
Bigger houses - room sizes
Outdoor life - camping, swimming in the sea, hiking etc...
Beaches - where the average grain of sand has a diameter of less than 5cm

These are things we grew up with and miss the most! We've got over missing the family bit. ;)

I'm S.Korean who applied 175 visa this year and still I'm waiting for CO assignment. While I was waiting, and getting a lot of valuable information from you after having found this forum, I was just wondering why so many British people want to go to Australia.
As a Korean, I myself have a dream of living in well developed country and having more job opportunities. Probably the most of you have never heard about S.K, and truth is working condition here is not comparable in A. or UK. I strongly believe that the most of grown Korean think about immigration if and only if they have a chance. Fortunately I can speak just a little bit better than average of my people (for Korea is kind of isolated country with our own language and characters, we don't have a lot of chances to be exposed in English daily lives), so I could have a chance to apply.
But, Why British people? UK is, in my thought, one of the most wealthy and powerful, effective countries in the world. You have fantastic living standards and good nature, aren't you? Why do you want to go to Australia?

(If this is already answered question, please let me know how to find it and I apology in advance)

The UK used to be a great country but is in terminal decline, the sensible people are getting the hell out whenever they get the chance. Living standards are very low unless you are extremely rich and the government has let in far too many people from other countries whose values are opposed to those of the native population.
